Lorenzo Protocol integrates Babylon’s native Bitcoin staking network, Liquid Staking Assets (LST), and yield tokenization mechanisms to allow BTC to earn staking rewards while retaining on-chain liquidity. Once users deposit BTC, the protocol directs assets into the underlying staking system and issues corresponding Liquid Staking Tokens, enabling users to engage in DeFi activities such as lending, liquidity mining, and yield management.
As Bitcoin gradually evolves from a pure store of value asset to an on-chain financial asset, how to unlock BTC's liquidity has become an important topic in the industry.
